IF there’s one man in your team you want to be ultra-confident it’s your goalkeeper.

Joslain Mayebi, for all his good points, isn’t yet. Chris Maxwell it.

Maxwell’s Daily Post interview – which meant he was dropped from the side – pointed to a man laying down a marker to be number one.

He needs to be first-choice. Not only does it keep his Wales under-21 place but it aids his development.

He probably thought he wouldn’t be at Wrexham FC this season, but in the end he didn’t make the move to a bigger club.

The trade off for him coming back was that he was going to play, build up his experience in a tough league and then try again for a move.

You have to feel for Mayebi, a keeper most Conference sides would be proud to have, because he was all set to be the first choice before Maxwell came back.

His shot-stopping and handling is good, but he struggled with the ball on the floor against York City, especially after his groin injury.

The beauty of Maxwell is that he’s a talker, a shot-stopper and this year he’s improved on crosses. Add to that he’s comfortable with the ball, allowing players like Lee Fowler to drop deep, play a few triangles and force the other team out. It creates space down the flanks for the full-backs to exploit and sets up a lot of attacks.

They all feel confident with Maxwell behind them, confidence which would take a while to nurture with Mayebi.

Wrexham don’t have that time. With the league squeezing up they need to play their best available players all the time.
